How to make cream cheese cake mix cookies:

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

While the oven is preheating, mix the cream cheese and butter together using a hand held mixer. Keep mixing until you everything is a cream consistency. 

Next, add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until it is well combined.

Finally, add the cake mix and combine until the mixture is thoroughly combined. It will be thick but that is ok!

You need a baking sheet and I like to line it with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Start scooping the dough into tablespoons and placing on the cookie sheet. You can also use a medium cookie scoop if you have one.

Now, just bake! They do not take long. Normally about 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set. Keep a close eye on them so you don’t overbake them.

Once you remove the cookies from the oven, allow them to cool on the baking sheet before removing them. They will continue to cook some on the hot baking sheet so it is important to not leave them in the oven too long.

Top with powdered sugar once the cookies are cool.

How to store

Put the cookies inside an air tight container and they can be stored at room temperature for 4 to 5 days. You can also freeze them up to 3 months.

Sometimes I will make a double batch just to have extra to freeze. They are so good!

More ideas to try:

  • Cake Mix- Try substituting Vanilla Cake Mix, Yellow Cake Mix or Red Velvet Cake Mix. These are also delicious and a great substitute for the white cake mix.
  • Use a Homemade Cake Mix – Our Homemade Cake Mix Recipe is amazing to use in this recipe.
  • Chocolate Chips- My kids love when I have added chocolate chips to the cookie mixture before baking. Sometimes I will just toss in a handful of chocolate chips to change up the flavor. They love it!

Tips:

  • Use a cookie scoop. This makes scooping the cookies so easy. You can do a bunch quickly. I also like that each cookie is uniform.
  • Baking Sheet– You need a good baking sheet. It’s a good idea to replace them once they get dark brown on the bottom because it will impact your cookies.
